While Barcelona paid him 58 million, what Liverpool and Tottenham would pay for Raphinha

Saudi Arabian football has the firm intention of forming one of the best leagues on the planet prior to its World Cup in 2034, which is why since the signing of Cristiano Ronaldo, the great sheikhs have made the decision to invest figures never before seen in the history of football, at least in terms of salary to close the signings of world superstars, several of the best players of at least the century.

Without a doubt, the most notable reinforcement of the summer in the land of the sheikhs was Neymar Jr. for everything the player represents on and off the field of play. Unfortunately for Al-Hilal, a club that spent around 200 million euros on the former Barcelona player between transfer and salary, the '10' suffered an injury that will keep him out until the end of the season, which is why they are on the hunt for a replacement and they could bet on another winger of Rio blood who plays within the culé team.

Sport reports that Al-Hilal are once again interested in Raphinha, who they pursued unsuccessfully in the summer. The sheikhs consider that with their role as substitute, at least now they can tempt the attacker enough. The culés leave the door open to his sale, although, their position is clear, the price of the former Leeds United is at least 60 million euros, a figure with which they would recover what they invested in the summer of 2022 in the Brazilian national team.

However, among the Arab rumors, the interest of two Premier League giants, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur, also stands out. They want to acquire the services of Brazilian winger Raphinha, currently in the ranks of FC Barcelona. The complicated financial situation of the Catalan club has led to this decision, opening the door for both clubs to explore the possibility of strengthening their squads with the versatile 26-year-old winger.

The millions that Liverpool and Tottenham would pay

According to reports from Football Insider, Barcelona would be willing to let Raphinha leave for a nominal fee of around £40-50 million, a figure that could be attractive to English clubs, despite having shelled out more for him when they acquired him. from Leeds United, which was 58 million euros. The Premier League has seen a strong start from Liverpool and Tottenham to the current season, and the addition of Raphinha could be key to consolidating their Champions League aspirations.
